DraftKings NBA Pick6 fantasy basketball lineup for February 21
Anthony Edwards 28.5 Points: MORE
If it wasn’t clear by now, Anthony Edwards is one of the brightest young superstars in the league. He continues to level up every season, averaging a career-best 27.5 PPG in 2024-25. He was on an absolute heater before the ASG break, scoring more than 28.5 points in three of his last five.
Ant scored a ridiculous 44, 41, and 49 points in those games. The main reason I’m loving this entry, however, is because Edwards has torched the Rockets this season, averaging 31.3 PPG across three meetings. He’s dealing with groin soreness tonight and has been listed as questionable, but he’s expected to suit up.
Alperen Sengun 4.5 Assists: LESS
Alperen Sengun is the main man for the Houston Rockets alongside Jalen Green. He thrives mostly as a scorer and rebounder, but the center is also a respectable playmaker, averaging 4.8 assists per night.
Sengun has dished out less than 4.5 dimes in four of his last five, however, failing to register a single assist in the Rockets’ last game before the break. While he has averaged 6.3 dimes against the Timberwolves this season, I’ll follow the latest trends for this one. He also averages 4.4 dimes at home compared to 5.3 on the road.
Dillon Brooks 12.5 Points: MORE
Dillon Brooks is one of the most hated players in the league, but it’s hard to overlook his importance to Houston. Aside from his gritty defending, the Canadian is also averaging 13.6 points per night. He’s also scored more than 12.5 points in four of his last six.
Brooks has turned it up a notch in two appearances against the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2024-25, averaging 18.5 PPG. I expect him to step up again tonight and help the Rockets in this important clash with a West rival.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 31.5 Points: MORE
I know this is an incredibly high total. But we’re talking about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, a legitimate MVP contender who regularly puts up 30+ each night. The Canadian superstar is averaging a career-high 32.5 points for the Thunder, who are looking like a true title contender with their franchise cornerstone at the helm.
While Gilgeous-Alexander has scored more than 31.5 points just twice in his last five, he absolutely dominates the lowly Jazz. In two meetings this season, SGA is averaging 40 points against them. That’s enough reason for me to like this entry.
Jarrett Allen 10.5 Rebounds: MORE
The Cleveland Cavaliers are at the top of the East because they’re a complete team in all areas. Jarrett Allen is playing a vital part in their success, and tonight, we’ll focus on his dominance on the glass. The big man is averaging 10.5 rebounds this season, which shoots up to 13.6 in February so far.
Allen has brought down more than 10.5 boards in five of his last six outings and just grabbed 20 on Thursday in a win over the Brooklyn Nets. He also registered 15 rebounds against the Knicks in October, who Cleveland welcomes to town tonight.
Evan Mobley 17.5 Points: MORE
There’s no Twin Towers in Ohio without Evan Mobley as well. He’s enjoying a career year as a scorer, averaging 18.5 points. The big man has dropped more than 17.5 points in four of his last five and had a solid first game back post-All-Star break, putting up 18 versus Brooklyn.
Before the festivities in the Bay Area, Mobley had a three-game run where he scored 25+. He also scored 17 points against the Knicks earlier this season. For February, his scoring averages sit at 20.6. I’m expecting another productive outing for Mobley.
